FM Demands A Good Campaign From Historical Leaders During The Parliamentary Election
The parliamentary elections are less that two months away and recent political moves have set the foundations for a very competitive and thrilling election. The recent announcement that Dr. Jose Ramos Horta and Dr. Abilio Araujo will be throwing their support behind PD, (Independente Newspaper, 15 May 2012) shows that the political landscape dominated by CNRT & FRETILIN might experience some significant alterations. On top of the threat posed by Lasama’s party, this announcement also shows the continuing influence held by the older generation in the political life of Timor-Leste. With Xanana Gusmao dominating CNRT, and Mari Alktari controlling FRETILIN, power lies well within the hands of this country’s historical leaders.
Competition will be rife between PD, CNRT & FRETILIN, however Fundasaun Mahein (FM) hopes that people will not blindly support a party based solely on the prestige held by its leader, but instead make a selection based on the political program for development it offers and its solution to combating corruption.
In relation to the historical leaders of these three main parties, Fundasaun Mahien hope that they can draw from their lengthy experience and set a good example to others by ensuring they each demonstrate a solid program that would provide security for all and a sense of ownership in the development of Timor-Leste for all its citizens. People need to feel that they are part of the modernization of this country.
FM also asks that all political and state actors as well as the media be careful of the tone in their language and its reporting during the parliamentary campaign. During both rounds of the presidential campaign, a few too many incidents were registered and respective leaders traded unnecessary insults. FM also hopes that the heads of our security institutions are also more wary when making statements. Inflammatory threatening statements only ignite tensions further and may result in tragic mistakes.
Returning back to the need for political parties to present solid political programs, FM would like to urge parties to emphasize job-creating schemes. The imminent departure of UNMIT that will create many jobless, mixed with the already high levels of unemployment and a very young population, all suggest that job creation must be an urgent matter for our future government. Political parties should highlight their commitment to the Timor gap pipeline to Timor and to liberalization practices that would enable the creation of many jobs in Timor-Leste.
Simultaneously, FM recommends that people ask tough questions to political leaders on matters of justice, security, corruption, land disputes, language and telecommunications. People, when given the opportunity should call for an explanation on why so many MPs are often absent during parliamentary sessions. This growing culture of MP absenteeism should not be tolerated. Additionally, voters should call for an end to large-scale emergency infrastructure projects such as the current Comoro road development, which suck up vast state resources with often very limited results.
To sum up, FM calls upon political leaders to not only avoid petty political attacks, but to also stop constantly referring to history and instead focus on good present and practical political programs and solutions for existing and future problems. Greater efforts should be made by politicians at strengthening the rule of law so to do away with the practice of “the rule of the deals”.
Lastly, these issues can be tied to the need to further professionalize our police force into a more community oriented one, but also to brand our army into a more civilian friendly force. This would allow both institutions to be better equipped at solving problems, aided by the use of traditional systems and culture and do away with the regular need to use weaponry and heavy handed techniques such as during the police operation at Hotel Timor on May Day.
Hopes the TRIO Leaders and Trio Political force in Timor-Leste will institutionalize their tremendous political experience to Timor-Leste’s new political generations. Good luck!
